The heat has been turned up -- literally -- for the Dodgers and Astros, who prepare to begin the World Series presented by YouTube TV under conditions foreign to the Fall Classic.
Twenty-four hours before first pitch at Dodger Stadium, Accuweather.com forecast a high of 103 degrees Tuesday and 100 degrees Wednesday. A 5 p.m. PT start time won't provide much relief, either, as the local temperature is projected to have cooled off only to 98 degrees by that time.
